Lonsdale is a script typeface that trades the usual swashes and flourishes for something more deliberate—letters shaped with the precision of a draughtsman’s pen, yet still alive with the warmth of human curves. The result is a disconnected script that reads with clarity, even at a distance, while keeping a graceful, flowing rhythm.
Its wide, confident capitals make a striking first impression on signage, packaging, or editorial mastheads. The lowercase maintains breathing room between characters, giving it a light, airy presence without losing the cohesion of a true script. Each terminal is sculpted with gentle, consistent arcs, creating a balance between softness and technical discipline.
Lonsdale’s DNA draws from the sleek optimism of 1960s display scripts, but every contour has been re-engineered for the modern designer’s toolkit. It thrives in high-contrast contexts—over photography, under bold color overlays, or in metallic foil—always holding its shape and legibility. Use it for boutique branding that needs personality without fuss, for transport or destination graphics where style meets legibility, or for editorial work that wants a retro-modern accent. With multilingual support covering a wide range of Latin-based languages, Lonsdale carries its confident style across borders and contexts.
For designs that need a script voice with both character and control, Lonsdale delivers—meticulously drawn, perfectly spaced, and ready to stand tall in any setting.
